Calls between two travelers in Sri Lanka using HolidayPhone

The rate for calls between two travelers using HolidayPhone equals that of local calls as stated above (i.e. 0,9¢/min).
If you are traveling in a party, we recommend that you order HolidayPhone for all travelers, so that you can make cheap calls between each other on your trip. To achieve this, just dial the local Sri Lanka mobile phone number provided with the SIM.

As a comparison, it could cost up to $8/minute to call between two US mobile phones without the HolidayPhone service in Sri Lanka. This is due to the roaming charges in effect both for the caller, and for the person receiving the call. Just a few minutes of talk time could pay for the cost of the HolidayPhone service, if both parties use HolidayPhone which means paying only the equivalance of 0.5p/minute!

If the call balance runs out:

Our SIM cards come topped up with a Rs. 2000 call balance, which covers quite a lot. It is enough to cover the cost of calling for 12 hours to the USA. It can also cover the cost of around 1,5GB of Internet data, which is enough for most people.

Should you still find yourself in the need of topping up your call balance, you can buy top-up vouchers in Sri Lanka's many kiosks and supermarkets.
